Operating the Services: We process your personal information to provide goods or Services you have requested. This is so we can comply with our contractual obligations to you.

Improving our Services: We analyze information about how you use our Services to provide an improved experience for our customers of all our Services, including product testing and site analytics. It is in our legitimate business interests to use the information provided to us for this purpose, so we can understand any issues with our Services and improve them.

Communicating with you: We may use your personal information when we communicate with you, for example if we are providing information about changes to the terms and conditions or if you contact us with questions. It is in our legitimate interests that we are able to provide you with appropriate responses and provide you with notices about our Services. We may also do so in furtherance of our contractual relationship with you or your organization or in furtherance of pre-contractual measures.

Marketing: we may use your personal information to send you marketing information or to build a profile about you and place you into particular marketing segments in order to understand your preferences better and to appropriately personalize the marketing messages we send to you. It is in our legitimate interest to provide more relevant and interesting promotions, special offers, or advertising messages. We may also in certain circumstances, including where required, obtain your consent (e.g., ask you to opt-in) before sending such marketing messages.

Conducting transactions with you: If you or your company provide us with services, or seek to do so, we will collect your personal information when you provide information about your or your organization’s services to us and when we conduct transactions with you or your organization.

3. HOW AND WHEN WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We do not share, sell, trade, or lease your personal information to any unrelated third parties for their own marketing use. We also do not believe that we “sell” your personal information as that term is defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act. We may share your personal information with third parties under the following circumstances:

Service providers and business partners: we may share your personal information with our service providers and business partners that perform marketing services and other business operations for us for the purposes set forth above. For example, we may partner with companies to process secure payments, fulfill orders, optimize services, serve online behavioral advertising, send newsletters and marketing messages, support email and messaging services, and analyze information. These service providers and business partners may include advertising agencies and fraud prevention agencies which will use your personal information only in the ways described in this policy.

Group companies: Ingersoll Rand Inc. works closely with other businesses and companies that fall under the Ingersoll Rand family. We may share certain information about your contact information, financial account information, transactions, and communications with other Ingersoll Rand companies for marketing purposes, security, optimization of products and services, and internal reporting. We do this for the purposes set out above.

Where required by law: we may share your personal information with law enforcement agencies, courts, other government authorities or other third parties where we believe necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, or otherwise to protect our rights or the rights of any third party.

In the context of a transaction: we may share your personal information with potential transaction partners, service providers, advisors, and other third parties in connection with the consideration, negotiation, or completion of a corporate transaction in which we are acquired by or merged with another company or we sell or transfer all or a portion of our assets or business. Should such a sale or transfer occur, we will use reasonable efforts to obligate the entity to which we transfer your personal information to use it in a manner that is consistent with this Privacy Notice.

As requested by you: We may share your information with third-parties in order to respond to your requests. For example, if you request pricing information on a product we do not sell directly to end users, we may forward your request to a third-party that does, in order to address to your direct inquiry.

5.YOUR RIGHTS OVER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

In accordance with the laws of certain countries or states, you may where applicable, have certain rights regarding the personal information we hold about you, subject to local law. These may include the rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to our use of, or receive a portable copy in a usable electronic format of your personal information. Where you have provided your consent to any use of your personal information, you can withdraw this consent at any time. You also may have a right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection or privacy regulator.

Right to Delete: Consumers have a right to request the deletion of personal information that we have collected from them, though certain exceptions may apply.

Right to Opt-out of Sales: California law treats disclosures of personal information in exchange for valuable consideration as “sales.” Consumers have the right to opt-out of such sales.

Right to Opt-out of financial incentive programs that we may offer.

Non-Discrimination: We may not discriminate against you for exercising your rights under the CCPA. We may, however, provide a different level of service or charge a different rate if the difference is reasonably related to the value of your information.

Please note that the CCPA includes an exemption for certain personal information that is collected in a business-to-business (“B2B”) context. With the exception of the sale opt-out right, the rights described above do not apply to personal data that is subject to the B2B exception.

GDPR - EU

If you are working with our affiliates in the EU or are a data subject in the EU protected by GDPR, you can invoke your rights under GDPR towards the relevant EU Ingersoll-Rand affiliate that controls your personal data at local, national level for the performance of the day to day operations of the relevant affiliate, each acting as a separate controller. For all cross-border processing of personal data in the EEA at group level, the controller is:

For job applicants, employees and former employees of our EU Ingersoll-Rand affiliates, separate notices and policies exist in line with EU law, which inform them about our data processing and their rights. When you are not a job applicant, employee or former employee, we hereunder inform you about your rights under GDPR and how to perform them. In such case, the processing of personal data by the relevant Ingersoll-Rand entities may be based on the necessity to perform a contract with you or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, because we have a legal obligation to do so, or because it is in our legitimate interest to do so (for instance if you are working for one of our suppliers or customers who have to receive your data for normal business operations, or because you want to browse through our website), or, alternatively, may be based on your consent (for instance when you have consented to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes).

III. Under the GPDR individuals have:

the right of access to the personal data that the relevant controller processes about the individual concerned, as well as a right of rectification and erasure of their data;

the right to obtain from the relevant controller restriction of processing of the individual’s personal data, and the right to object to the processing;

the right to obtain from the relevant controller in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, the personal data the individual has communicated to the controller in order to transmit this data to another controller (the so-called “right to data portability”),

the right to withdraw at all times the individual’s consent with respect to the processing which would possibly be based on the individual’s consent, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal; and

the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

The performance of these rights may be subject to certain conditions and exceptions as provided by the GDPR. Individuals who want to perform these rights can do so by contacting:

The inquiries should include the individual's name, address, and other relevant contact information (phone number, email address). Ingersoll Rand may require that you provide additional information in order to verify your identity and will use all reasonable efforts to honor such requests as quickly as possible and within the time limits set forth by applicable law.

6.INFORMATION SECURITY AND STORAGE

We have security measures in place to protect the loss, misuse, and alteration of the information under our control. We retain your personal information for as long as we have a relationship with you and as long as necessary for legitimate business purposes. When deciding how long to keep your personal information after our relationship with you has ended, we take into account our legal obligations. We may also retain records to investigate or defend against potential legal claims.

7.INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFER

Your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country that is not regarded as providing the same level of protection for personal information as the laws of your home country, and may be available to the government of those countries under a lawful order made in those countries. We have put in place appropriate safeguards (such as contractual commitments) in accordance with applicable legal requirements to provide adequate protections for your personal information. For more information on the appropriate safeguards in place and to obtain a copy of such safeguards, please contact us at the contact information set forth below.

GDPR – EU

Our EU affiliates may transfer personal data outside to EEA to companies of the Ingersoll – Rand group or to third party suppliers ensuring adequate personal data protection either on basis of adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission or through the implementation of appropriate safeguards including but not limited the use of standard contractual clauses - as recognized by the European Commission- with Ingersoll – Rand group companies third party suppliers, or it will work with suppliers who are certified under the EU – U.S. Privacy Shield and the U.S. – Swiss Privacy Shield Framework or equivalent mechanism.
